  • On the rise: PAK Hawks Sharjah U-13 won by nine wickets to land third place.

    Pradhyumana Jagdish’s four-wicket haul helped Our Own Zenith book their place in the U-15 quarter-finals at the expense of Gulf Asian Challengers.

    At Skyline University, Jagdish rose to the occasion, finishing with figures of 4-7 as the Challengers crumbled to his fine bowling.

    The Sharjah-outfit needed to win to keep their slim hopes alive but were all out for 66 as Ansh Tandon had no support from his batsmen, top-scoring with 11.

    Having won their previous two games, Zenith cruised to the target  losing just one wicket and made it three wins from three as Vishal Raj (37) and Niel Lobo (14) saw them home in the ninth over.

    Challengers’ defeat saw PAK Hawks Sharjah seal the second qualification spot after two wins from their three games.

    In the U-13 Sharjah group, three rounds are remaining but the race for the two knock-out spots look set to go to the wire.

    Aditya Manglani took six scalps as Brilliant Team were all out for eight as DPS Sharjah continued their perfect record with a 10-wicket victory.  

    They have 12 points along with Our Own Zenith, who registered their fourth win in five games. 

    Shoun Roger hit three boundaries (two fours and one six) in his 43-run knock to guide Zenith to a 38-run triumph over Ryanites. 

    Roger’s total helped Zenith score 104 in their 15 overs and he later returned to torment the opponents with his bowling by claiming two wickets as Ryanites were restricted for 66-9

    PAK Hawks Sharjah moved up to third position with nine points ahead of Leaders XI, who they beat by nine wickets.

    Set a target of 98, Syed Ammar Ahmed hit 53 runs in a knock that included seven fours and one six as PAK Hawks eased to their target with nine wickets to spare.
